Hi,
funny that this came up now, exactly when I was trying to put to work the example
that Ben Alex has done in this direction.
Also for my project I will be needing this kind of Client Dispatcher, so I'm 
interested in helping develop it, as a future part of webwork or webwork-optional.
Besides, it seems that this is something that is allready working quite well in WW1, 
at least I read a few comments from Rickard Oberg, that he uses it on his project.
So it should be quite easy to put it into ww2.
Probably it's just necessary some documentation + more elaborated examples that 
illustrate better.
